Starting at the Prime Meridian, you can go a maximum of 180 degrees of longitude east and 180 degrees of longitude west. Thus, the correct answer in this context is 180º east. The concept of going 360 degrees around the Earth would return you to the starting point, but in terms of dividing longitude, the maximum for either direction is 180 degrees.
